Due to some strange situation about changing over water meters, we've got no water supply for the next couple of days. Apparently the previous 'tenants' (I say tenants, but asset-stripping, rent-paying, squatters would be a better descriptions) have finally got around to imforming the water company that they no longer live there, so the water company have come and taken the meter! We now need to go through the teeth-pulling agony of bureacratic nonsense that is required for everything, to get a meter of our own.
You may be wondering why on earth they need to change the meter just because the occupants have changed. You may also be wondering what genius thought that such a system was the best way to go. So am I...
Fortunately, there are many public taps around, as many houses don't have their own water supply, and our house is fairly near one such public tap.
So fear not, we won't die of thirst.
Dying of frustration is far more likely around here...
